Writing and raising children in the leafy London suburbs

Remember last week I got diagnosed with an under active thyroid? Yeah, well, that’s all going pretty well at the moment. I started the course of thyroxine tablets the same day, and since then haven’t looked back. 🙂

No doubt about it, I’m feeling happier, more energetic and just…chirpier, y’know? It’s hard say for sure about the weight loss effects and the improved memory, but I’ve definitely been able to tell the difference this week in terms of overall mood and energy levels – and that’s despite being tired from being out late and getting rather drunk at the weekend (and then having to help out at Amber’s friends’ birthday party, although that went far better than expected – particularly from Amber’s point of view).

We all inhabit a house on the edge of London, and I make a living as a copywriter in the centre of town.

It's been a turbulent few years - tragedy struck early in 2011 when my younger brother died very suddenly and unexpectedly. We're still recovering from that.
My dad had a heart transplant in 2008. He's still alive and doing very well indeed.
